How many Refusals are there in the first act?

#screenwriting #filmmaking #writing #screenplay

There are usually at least two refusals in the first act - refusal to leave the Ordinary World and refusal to enter the First Threshold.

Refusal has many forms - reluctance, containment, refusal from other archetypes, inability to leave until/unless something is achieved or broken away from etc.

Arguably, the first act is an exercise in refusal - at root, it is all about the refusal to change.

The Hero's Journey and Transformation through a New World/State is the template upon which the vast majority of successful stories and Hollywood blockbusters are based upon. Learn about this at http://www.clickok.co.uk/index4.html
